innocent, his book Will sell we'll
In case of confession, the book, if
ever published at all, will be lead
only as one of the curiositics OF
criminal literature.
Judging from Willie Cluverius
and Mrs. Tunstall's affection for the
prisoner, unquestionably they
would wish him to do what is best
for his souls salvation, withoutrcf
erence to their feelings or supposed
interest.
Mir. Willie Cluvcrius stated last
night that the printing of the book
would he done by Andrews, Bap-
tist & Clemmitt, of This city, that
10000 copies wou d be issued, and
that tile work would all be finished
in a week. The printers now have
the Ms. in hand. The book will be
copyrighted. 1t will make 22 ,0G0
words, or about 100 pages -E!ch
moul Dispatch of Monday.
ANOTHER EFFORT FOR HIM
RICHMOND, VA, Jan. 1.-The
counsel for Cluvcrius made another
attempt to day to stay the execu-
ton of the condemned man, which
is fixed for Friday. The counsel
raised the point that City Sergeant
Smith, who is to carry out the exc
cution, had not complied with the
requirements of the law OF 1870,
form which the present charter OF
the city WAS created. That law re:
qured the sergeant to qualify both
before the Hastings Court ami tile
city counsel. This requirement. the
present sergeant did not comply
with. An examination of the law,
however, proved that that law was
repealed by one passed a few weeks
later, and so this point, raised ny
tho prisoners counsel, proved lu-
tile.
Preparations for the execution
are completed, and the scallold,
which only requires being put to.
gethcr, vii be erected Thursday.

HIS BOOK.

Several offers were made for the
purchase Of Cluverius's history of
his life; but the decision las been
made that tie MS. will not be sold
but will be published by an agent
of the family, and the proceeds will
go to the reimbursement of Mrs.
Jane TunStall. the prisoners aunt.
to whom he is Indebted for his col

The Way They Boom n town.

The way they push towns out
West is by pulling together. a
correspondent of an exchange writ
ing from Lincoln, Nebraska, gives
an illustration of this in tn. follow
ing: "The observing stranger who
visits this city cannot help being
favorably impressed no matter how
prejudiced he may be against all
other towns than the one he lives i'm.
Lincoln people have their quarrels
and chickering's, the same as frail hui
manity m general, but they drop
all that when questions concerning
the town arise; they drop all that
and place their shoulders to the
wheel, and give a yo-heave-ho, and
start the wheel moving. Men who
punch each others heads about the
merits of their dogs will embrace
each other and go to work ten min.
utes after il boom scheme comes I'M.
Every man has appointed himself a
committee to show strangers what
kind of town he lives in, and the
population is composed of lecturers
whose discourscs are all on Lincoln.
AS a conseG uence the town is roll
ling on to glory in remarkable
way, while cities that are feo on
quarrels, dissensions and bitterness
are breeding only weeds and gal
Looping consumptions."

The editor of the Meas should

a frightful accident occurred at
the Parkersburg Mill last Tuesday,
but which, though very serious, is
not likely to prove fatal.
Milton Stuart, a young man, son
of Sardius Stuart, was employed at
arp saw when two splinters, about
eight inches long and one inch by
one-half inch thick flew of of the
board he was saving striking him
on the thigh and piercing entirely
through. Some of the men pulled
the splinters out and at once sent
for Or. {. ]. Scott, who dressed the
wounds.
The accident was a very serious
one and it will probably be a long

was not injured.
